Palm won't be showing anybody anything until they get the hell away from the horrid Sprint network. In order for any of these companies to compete, they have to offer their flagship devices on AT&T or preferably Verizon. Some people may complain about the price of Verizon, but I will gladly pay a little more to be able to use my phone almost anywhere in the country.

Even giving away Rebel EFI for free would be in violation of the court order. From the ruling:
"2. Intentionally inducing, aiding, assisting, abetting, or encouraging any other person or entity to infringe plaintiff's copyrighted Mac OS X software."

They are screwed. I think the only reason they intend to continue this legal battle is to burn through their capital. Hoping to be able to prevent any payment to Apple.

@kiza

I think you are missing the fact that many users would gladly, and have gladly, dump their iPhones and the horrible at&t network to get a good device on Verizon. I know that I am not alone when I say I wanted an iPhone since release but refuse to switch to at&t. I am extremely happy with my droid, and don't think I would switch if the iPhone made its way to Verizon.

The smartphone market is growing by leaps and bounds. As the user base grows younger, and more tech savvy it will only continue to grow.

@reapur

Exactly. Who would want a smart phone on the best network in the nation? I will gladly pay a little more to know that I will have service when I need it and not have to deal with dropped calls.

@apinunr

If you are seriously only getting 10 - 12 hours with sparing use, you need to get that thing exchanged. I regularly go 24 - 36 with what I consider moderate use. If you do a little research, you will see that your batter times are obviously not the norm.

@heatgap

For $1 you can get a ten footer from monoprice.com. Why complain about something that is so easy and cheap to fix. Not everyone needs that long of cord. I use the short one to charge when connected to my laptop (90% of the time) and keep the long on hooked to the wall charger for when I really need to use the phone when the batter is dead.

@SeanG

You might want to see about getting that swapped out, or do a little research on battery hogging 3rd party apps. I can regularly go nearly 2 days on a charge with light/moderate use. Before I plugged in last night I was at 1 day 17 hours, and still had 20% to go.

@yulebellow

You can put the running services link on your home screen and have access to all running apps. Not quite as user friendly as some of the aftermarket options, but it is still there and stock.

@eka

Yeah, but the possibilities of customization are what makes android great. Don't like the way your android UI looks, then change it. I also have to say that while competition is usually good, in instances like this, it actually hurts the consumer. A highly fractured market sees fewer developers, as well as fewer supported accessories for each segment. Give us 3 or 4 major players to drive innovation, and let the rest fade away.

Once again the overpriced comments have made their way to the discussion. You go ahead and buy your Windows laptop and save $500 today. When I sell my Macbook Pro after three years and recover $1000 we will see who has the lowest cost of ownership. After three years that Windows notebook will be worth precisely $0.
